Turkey-Cheddar Cheese Wrap
(Makes 1 wrap)
Wraps are an easy and versatile way to enjoy a quick lunch. This recipe is a favorite of the women at Green Mountain, but the variety is limited only by your imagination and the items you may have in your refrigerator. Start by topping a flour tortilla with some protein foods such as turkey, chicken, other lean meats and/or any variety of cheeses. Add some vegetables such salad greens, carrots, red or green peppers, corn, thinly sliced onion; some fresh or dried fruit-apples pears, melon, pineapple, dried cranberries, cherries, raisins; garnish with a few nuts and a dollop of dressing or yogurt for flavor.
